Abstract

Evidence has indicated that gut bacteria may serve an important role in cancer development and therapy, while little work has been done to explore the microbial diversity inside tumours. In the present study, high‑throughput sequencing was first used to identify and compare the microbial diversity in human and mouse tumours. Principal component analysis (PCA) and β-diversity indicated a low microbial similarity among mouse artificial tumours (M.AT group), mouse spontaneous tumours (M.T group) and human tumours (H.T group), and Serratia (35.85 vs. 32.64 vs. 73.32%), Pseudomonas (24.10 vs. 16.62 vs. 1.72%) and Ochrobactrum (6.28 vs. 11.08 vs. 11.90%) were identified as dominant bacteria at the genus level. In addition, Venn results indicated 103 common operational taxonomic units (OTUs) in the M.AT, M.T and H.T groups, and only 2 and 1 OTUs belonged to Lactobacillus and Escherichia, respectively, while no OTUs belonging to Salmonella, Bifidobacteria or Clostridium were identified. In the present study, the common bacteria between human and mouse tumours were identified, which may serve as potential strains for bacteriotherapy of cancers.
